T Bar Row

[bodyshop20]

: hello again all you iron mongers.
For years i trained in the gym but now train at home.
I can buy most things i need but could not find a T Bar row attachment.
I could buy a T Bar row machine, But this is expensive and not space saving.
I have made an attachment that will turn the old barbell into a T bar row.
Would anyone know how to market this or who to approach for help in marketing it.
It cost me about £2 sterlin which is about say 3 dollars to make.
All my friends have requested me to make them one.
They all agree they would pay like £10 sterlin say 15 dollars for one so profit would be good

Do you have an olympic barbell?

[bodyshop20]

No its a standard home gym bar 35mm i think but it could be made to suit both diameters

[Mr VW]

Do them with a bar. Put it in the corner of a room and rack weight on one end and just hold and pull until the weight touches your chest. It should work the same.

I find these modern T Bars where you stand on the platform awkward as you, well myself, can't get a comfortable stance. I much prefer a T Bar on the floor where you can pull the bar to your chest nicely.

[Mr VW]

You could also try them one handed. They work really well, and for stability just rest your forearm on your leg.

I agree with using the barbell. That's how I do them since I don't have machines. I stand over the bar and row it from the floor to my chest, keeping my back straight. I've doone it one armed with the bar to the side as well.

I found that the bar lifts on the none weighted end and ruins the skirting on the wall floor level.
So this is a cheap alternative

[Mr VW]

You could always not put them in a corner. It shouldnt' move. Or you could put the collar clip on the end without weight so the bar isnt on the floor itself and it shouldnt move.

[DarkLord]

I will try that Mr VW as I like doing them with just an olympic bar on the floor with plenty of weight on one end.
